I thought the boss shanadoh made 800 HP and was a 10l stroker?????

There's different variations and levels. I know some of the newer ones make that kinda power but not sure about the 10l part.

As far as the cat, he's just a Bengal cat. His sister was on the other side of the garage and they come out every now and then to check things out. The motor is in the front attached garage, car and all the big tools are in the back detached garage.

Working from the trunk forward I cleaned up the underside, straightened the pinch weld as best as I could, patched up a rust spot under the gas pedal area and welded in subframe connectors

Just read the entire thread, WOW! I definitely want to pick your brain as to what you used to undercoat the bottom side of the car and how its been holding up seeing as this thread is over 10 years old! My 99GT has rust in the same areas that yours did and even worse, the rear frame rail as well. I am going to have it all repaired but want to undercoat the entire underside side of the car to prevent it from rusting again

Still looks like the day I did it because it's still in pieces in the same spot inside the garage. You'll like my frame rail repair coming up next. I just did por15 on the rusted areas and then coated it with automotive paint. Can't say if it'll hold up or not because it hasn't been tested

They call it the rust belt for a reason. Drivers side strut tower and frame rail. Was hoping for a easy splice but because the frame was rusted inside the outer sleeve I had no clearance for welding. Took the back half completely out so there would only be one splice. K member bolts still had a couple miles left in them but decided to replace them while I had it apart
